My observations were that the Epsom skipper was EXTREMELY poor tactically. He had at least 5 men on the boundary at all times, there was no risk and forced CCC in to settling for a draw (assume this is all Epsom were after?). No team is simply going to give their wickets to fielders on the boundary, very naive, why not have more men around the bat and give the opportunity to the batsman to go over the top? Poor!!

Would also agree having played in the game that Epsom were less than positive. Every new bat had at least 5 boundary fielders even with the rate over 6s and a paid overseas dominating the game. Also to.be positive you win the toss and bowl so I believe the Epsom captain may want to be critical a little closer to home. The point also took chessington up one place in the league table, would zero points achieved this? The old saying of concentrate on your own game is very appropriate to this column.

Having been at the game watching it, I find the Epsom skippers comments rather funny. Chessington looked to take wickets throughout until the last 10 overs or so when they realised defending runs was more important. Even when batting, chessington looked to score at every opportunity until they realised the win was beyond them due to very negative fields from the Epsom skipper (if you can even call him that)
